Description

ROP's Ignite youth program is a ministry of presence where volunteers prayerfully pursue redemptive friendships with the teens in a team atmosphere allowing long term relationships to grow organically. We accomplish this by consistently being there for them on our scheduled night excited, ready to listen or play a game. Ignite develops a strong sense of safety and family for the teens by fostering a sense of team-work and family amongst the staff and volunteers.

* Monthly team meeting for 2 hrs every last Saturday of the month.
* Special training seminars, with notice given in advance (if available).
